About Us

The Merrymeeting Group (MMG) was founded in 2001 in Cleveland, Ohio. Since its inception, MMG has focused on investing in and developing middle-market businesses in the franchising, technology, and B-to-B service sectors. Since 2010, we have expanded our investment focus to include commercial real estate. Our specific niche is focusing on opportunities to provide young entrepreneurs with liquidity and subsequently partner with them to grow their companies.

In the day-to-day operation of our business, we focus on adhering to our Core Values. We have combined this operating style with a long-term investment and management philosophy that is predicated upon the assumption that, unlike private equity groups, we will use our own capital to acquire and develop businesses with no plans to exit within a specific time period. As a result, we are not driven by either short-term financial objectives or the need to satisfy third-party investors.
